The New York World tells some daz-
zling fish stories. Here is one of them
"Prof. Baird says there is nothing to
prevent fish from living an incredible
number of years and growing to an
enormous size, and cites in proof of the
statement an immense pike living in
Russia whose age dates back to the fif-
teenth century. Apropos of this, q
well-known Canadian artist now in New
York, says that while travelling in Brit
ish Columbia few months ago he was
shown gigantic sturgeon which was
declared by the people to have lived in
the waters of the Fraser River, to their
certain knowledge, time out of mind,
and which, since it's capture more than
a year ago, had furnished food for several
families. The fish was tied with stout
ropes to tree on the banks of the
river, and whenever a resident wanted
some fish he simply went to the river,
pulled in the captive, cut q steak of the
size needed, and allowed the great fish
to float back into the stream. The
sturgeon was still alive when the artist
left, and was estimated to have enough
meat on its bones to supply the village
for several months to come"

decided to send to Edinburgh,
fifty miles from Clydesdale Castle, for q
dentist. When he arrived she declared
that her nerves were in such condition
that she could not submit to the opera
ton unless she saw it performed on
some one else first. No one Offering
himself as sacrifice, she told Lord
Arden that he must have tooth out in
order that she might Judge whether she
could endure the operation. He APP
peared very Disconnected, and expostu-
lated to no purpose, and finally, like,
an obedient husband, submitted, and
had sound tooth drawn from his jaw,
after which she declared that she had
seen enough to convince her that she
could not endure the operation.
